“
WIZO Israel branches are a home for all segments of the population (for every woman, man, girl and boy). Our mission is to:
• Be an address for every woman and girl in Israel at every stage and at every crossroads of life
• Act for all women as a whole as well as for each one who needs us personally
• As the largest women’s organization in Israel to be influential, working on a daily basis for women, girls and children
• Lead social movements to increase social resilience, and to promote gender equality in Israel
• Be natural partners in the activities of every community in the areas which WIZO specializes – children, girls, women, gender equality, prevention and reduction of violence in the family, education and welfare
